20 Awesome Women With A Gap Between Their Front Teeth

Gap Toothed Women

I have a gap between my two front teeth. It’s not big enough to drive a truck through (unless it’s a very, very tiny truck), but I can whistle like a bird and shoot water in a fancy stream. Every time I go to the dentist, they ask: “Do you want to fix that?” No! It’s part of what makes me me. Gap-toothed women have been around since the beginning of tooth history. In The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer described the Wife of Bath legendarily: “Gat-toothed was she.” The fancy name for this dental space is Diastema. Supposedly, gap-toothed women are oversexed and well-traveled. True or false? Check out these awesome gap-toothed ladies!

ha ha about the Shiloh post. I just read an AP story about the concern of her having teeth rot or having faced a blunt trauma due to the face she is missing her front tooth already at the age of 3. I’m sooo happy to see this as a major issue, because god damn it, it is!

I have a gap in my front teeth and I HATE it.  I want it fixed, but no one will do anything because the bite isn’t off.  Damnit.

Annika? Where’s your pic in here?
Add also Isabella Rossellini.

I’m more struck that Condie’s pic with the flag had to be Photoshop’d in.

I love Anna Paquin and her gap teeth. Especially when Sookie Stackhouse is getting it on with Eric the vampire. Can’t get much hotter than that.

bonding is a fast and inexpensive way to get rid of your gap tooth, who ever said they hated it and couldn’t get it fixed.

@Kiki T—that was me, and last time I looked into bonding, it was going to be around a grand. Now, that was several years ago, but the price kind of scared me off.

@jitterbugs232-that woman from good times IS a bit overweight, but she’s still cool.

and that model, danielle, she got her gap fixed a little on america’s next top model. it used to be a lot wider.

I love gap teeth! I sometimes wish that I had a gap. My older brother has a gap between his two front teeth and hates it, but I think it’s awesome. Haha, I basically wanted to BE my older brother when I was little, so that probably accounts for the gap-tooth envy. I feel like having a gap automatically make you look 12 times more fun. Not funny, fun.

I have a gap! When I was younger, I had braces to close them and I was REALLLY self conscious about it growing up. Cut to present day, 30 years old… I stopped wearing my retainer and voila, the gap is back and I actually love it. Yay for gaps!

I love that you included the Wife of Bath on this list.

Oversexed and well-traveled? There may be some truth to that…

My gap is artificially created, thanks to an expansion plate that over-expanded waay too far thanks to a bad bout of teenage orthodontia, but now I own it!

I have a gap, and I love it… only for the whole being able to be a human fountain thing. Other than that, it’s too small to notice when i smile.

i had a brace to get rid of my gap but it came back and i don’t mind one bit. Bridge Bardot is hot and to have something resembling her can’t be bad. But whats up with Demi Moore?!

You’ve got to be kidding with the picture of Demi Moore. A missing tooth is hardly the same thing as a diastema.

And where’s the love for Eve Myles?

Amy Winehouse?  I suppose she does fit one definition of awesome (inspring great apprehension or fear) but doubt that’s what you had in mind. 

And yes, no Eve Myles?  Though I am glad you included Vanessa Paradis (though were she not with Johnny Depp, I suspect you wouldn’t have)

I used to have a little bit of a gap tooth thing happening, but it closed up as I got older, and I’m honestly kind of sad about that- I think it’s cute! My boyfriend said he had the same thing (childhood gap that closed up as his adult teeth grew in) and when I met his mom I noticed she has an adorable, very noticeably gapped smile. I’m glad I’m not the only person who thinks this is an adorable change from the norm. grin
